Projects (general):
You will work on team projects. It is
expected that you join a team (with 5 members per group). Team forming
should be finalized no later than the second week of classes. Each team will be
assigned a machine in the Systems lab (located on the sixth floor,
FLAC)
and will be responsible for installing and administering
Linux on that machine. There will be lab sessions to be
arranged by the TA to discuss general Linux background, installation,
development, and internals.
